This all creatures animal exploitation photo gallery about Mice and Rats is being
presented to show the public the difference between the cute animals we
see in advertising and picture in our minds and the reality that exists in the
world.

Reality

(Mice and Rats - Research - 01)
Mice and rats are not protected by any anti-cruelty laws, nor are any
research facilities required to account for any testing procedures on them.
These feeling and social animals are left to the "mercy" of the researchers.
The rats in this photo are locked in stocks for hours on end while
experiments are conducted upon them without anesthesia.

Many times more mice and rats suffer and die in laboratories than all other
animals put together. Stop the torture! Don't donate to
charities that provide funds for medical research on animals.

(Mice and Rats - Research - 03)
From our own experience and observation, these animals never have a day that
could be described as "normal." Existing in metal cages in dark
"animal rooms", they are taken out into the light only to be tormented, as this one.

(Mice and Rats - Research - 04)
There seems to be no end to the tortures devised by the diabolical
imaginations of humans. Since mice and rats are unregulated, there is
no accountability for any sadistic act.

(Mice and Rats - Research - 05)
Why should animals be used and abused for "medical research" for diseases
for which they bear no responsibility? Why torment God's other
creatures in search of so-called "cures" for problems caused by "the lust of
the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life" (1 John
2:16) of humans? This is particularly relevant, since nearly all
chronic diseases are preventable.

This rat has his or her head clamped in a vise so the vivisector can perform
brain implant surgery. From all indications, the rat is fully
conscious during this procedure.

(Mice and Rats - Research - 08)
What in the world could this creature of God have done to deserve such
treatment?! Causing animals to suffer is evil.

(Mice and Rats - Research - 09)
This is another view of the torturous head-vise that holds a fully conscious
rat in place while a vivisectionist experiments upon him or her. This
is nothing more than socially accepted sadism. It's time these
atrocities end. Speak out against laboratory experimentation and
testing upon animals.

This is a mouse showing a swollen abdomen typical of ascites.
The most compelling arguments against in vivo production of monoclonal
antibodies are based on the suffering associated with the induction of
ascites in the animals. It is known from human clinical experience that the
growth of abdominal tumors is very painful. These painful procedures
are totally unnecessary, as even better quality antibodies can be produced
in tissue cultures.

Procter & Gamble is engineering nanosoot particles to develop products that
can penetrate skin and hair in ways that naturally occurring molecules do
not. More than a thousand hamsters, mice and rats (including the ones above
pictured here) were killed in tests where they were placed in sealed
containers and forced to breathe in air contaminated with 'nano' particles.
These experiments are done to produce "better" hair sprays, hand lotions and makeup.
What price they pay for human vanity.
